Most notably, Gabby who admitted she felt Tamzin’s mum’s presence in the room.
Following the challenge, the duo could be seen in tears as the BBC sports presenter shared an emotional embrace with the ex-EastEnders star.
“Your mum’s here. She’s here. I can see her.” Gabby cried into Tamzin’s ear.
She replied: “I know. Do you feel it?”
Gabby nodded in agreement, adding: “She loves you so much,” as the pair shared another hug.
Speaking later on in the programme, the BBC sports pundit explained that while some viewers may find what she experienced “ridiculous” and also added she doesn’t know Tamzin’s mum personally, there was an energy in the room that couldn’t be ignored.
“I was so moved and overwhelmed that I had to tell Tamzin,” Gabby concluded.
Tamzin, who shares two children with her ex and former Lucifer star Tom Ellis, addressed her mum’s loss in a previous interview.
The actress told OK Magazine that Anna, who worked as a city stockbroker, was her inspiration and “best friend”.
She added: “Having her taken suddenly was the worst thing ever.
“I try to see the good in everything and in this case the only positive was that I didn’t see her suffer, she was in no pain.”
Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof airs Tuesday on BBC One at 9pm.
